Animal Crackers

"Can't recall where I found this recipe (which I've yet to make) but the picture looks so yummy I just had to save it. Servings are approximate depending on the amount of wonton wrappers in a package. The description on the actual recipe read as follows: "Chia seeds make nice eyes, but only if you have the patience to drop them into place with tweezers. Be vigilante once the crackers are in the oven, they go from undercooked to burnt in a flash, so you need to watch them closely. Use a mix of whatever seeds you like. Consider using a the sesame seeds left in the bottom a container of my favorite seed-crusted crackers.""
